Mercari Fee Calculator

This Mercari fee calculator shows how much Mercari keeps in selling fees and how much you actually receive per order. It gives you a quick way to estimate net payout, compare different list prices, and avoid underpricing your inventory when you factor in shipping and platform costs.

1. Enter what the buyer pays on Mercari

Start by adding the total amount the buyer pays in USD for a single item. For most Mercari sales this is the combined item price plus any buyer-paid shipping that Mercari uses as the base for the seller fee. Once you hit Calculate, the tool estimates Mercari fees and net payout on that sale.

2. Add a target net if you know your profit goal

If you already know how much you want to keep after fees, use the “You want to keep after fees” box. Treat this as the amount left after Mercari’s selling fee but before your own product cost, packaging, and time. When you enter a target net, the calculator works backwards to show the minimum price the buyer needs to pay for you to hit that goal, plus the fees and effective fee rate at that price.

3. Use a realistic Mercari fee percentage

Mercari’s current model for sellers is built around a flat selling fee on the total sale, with no extra payment processing fee for most standard domestic orders. To keep things flexible, this tool uses a single selling fee % plus an optional fixed per-sale cost. You can:

• Leave the default 10% as a simple Mercari seller fee estimate.
• Adjust the percentage if Mercari updates its fee structure or runs special programs.
• Use the fixed fee field to approximate any extra per-order costs you want to bundle into the estimate.

4. Read the breakdown to sanity-check your margin

The results card highlights a single headline number: either your net payout per sale or the minimum price to reach your target net. Under that you get a breakdown of buyer pays, total Mercari fees, net to you, and the effective fee rate as a percentage of the sale. That makes it easy to see whether a price still works after Mercari takes its cut and you cover shipping and product cost.

5. Use it when listing, relisting, and cross-listing

Use this Mercari fee calculator when you set prices, run sales, or move inventory from other platforms. Try a few “what if” scenarios: raise your price, tweak the fee percentage, or increase your target net to see how much room you have for offers, coupons, and shipping discounts. The Copy summary button gives you a clean, text-only breakdown you can paste into spreadsheets, sourcing docs, or DMs with partners.

Remember that this tool focuses on core seller fees only. It does not include Buyer Protection fees charged to the buyer, international surcharges, penalties, or taxes. Always double-check final costs in the Mercari app or your payout history before locking in long-term pricing decisions.

This calculator models Mercari using a simple combination of a percentage selling fee and an optional fixed fee per sale. Let G be the total amount the buyer pays in USD on Mercari (item price plus buyer-paid shipping), r be the selling fee as a decimal (for example, 0.10 for 10%), and f be any fixed per-sale fee or extra cost you choose to include.

The total Mercari fee in this model is:

Mercari fees = G × r + f

The amount you receive after those fees is:

Net payout = G − (G × r + f)

When you enter a target net amount instead of just a sale price, the calculator rearranges the same equation to solve for the buyer price. If N is the net you want to keep after Mercari fees, the minimum price the buyer must pay is:

Required price = (N + f) ÷ (1 − r)

The effective fee rate shown in the results is simply:

Effective fee % = Mercari fees ÷ total sale × 100

That gives you an apples-to-apples way to compare Mercari to other marketplaces, or to see how much of each sale is lost to platform costs once you layer fees on top of your own product and shipping expenses.
